WANDERBACH page 155

- ‘You’re welcome. Beautiful girls are pretty
company during a long dull journey. Are you amusing yourself?’

- ‘Oh yes’, they giggle. ‘There aren’t many men
aboard. Is this because you want us all for yourself?’ Tork laughs.

- ‘Don’t think too far. There weren’t more interested
which I don’t mind, I rather see women then men.’, and again he is treated to giggle.

- ‘We like it to keep you company.’

- ‘Thanks, but the duchess demands a lot of my
time; she asked again to dance tonight and she knows that I can’t refuse.’

- ‘Why not; because she is royalty?’

- ‘The duke was a good friend and asked me to
take care of her before he died. I gave my word and that I don’t break.’

- ‘Therefore it isn’t necessary to spend every
minute with her?’

- ‘I don’t, but I didn’t yet see her today, why
she has a right to my attention tonight.’

- ‘Gosh!’ one of them sneers. ‘Of course you
didn’t. She was in her suite all day, and not alone: the first mate was with
her.’

- ‘No gossip ladies; it’s good she amuses
herself. She had a bad time.’ Both girls keep ashamed their mouth. At that
moment a man enters the club who looks around and then walks resolute towards
the bar.

- ‘Ah, Tork, I was looking for you. What do you
think; do we visit a nice island somewhere on the way?’ The host shakes smiling
the offered hand.

- ‘Sorry Peter, there are no nice islands on
this route. Why, are you bored?’

- ‘Oh, that’s ok, but some variety never harms’
He stares interested at both girls.
